We loved the place! Diana is a great hostess who is very helpful. She gave good tips about destinations. The apartment fully corresponded to description and location was in the heart of Varenna. A special mention for the fact that it was easy to change the apartment after booking.
Everything went great!

We had a fabulous stay here, the accommodation and location were excellent. Diana is the best host we’ve had in our 8 weeks of travel all round Europe. She provided us with exceptional service, the communication before our arrival was great and very helpful, she organised our train pick up/departure, gave us restaurant recommendation and activities suggestion and was an absolutely wonderful host. The location is excellent, right in the middle of a lovely square and close to the lots of beautiful cafes and restaurants, and a short walk around the lake to the port. We absolutely recommend Diana’s accommodation to those wanting to stay in the beautiful and quiet, Varenna. Would love to come back again some time. PS thanks for organising the laundry for us.
There is nothing that we didn’t like about Casa Contrada Bella. Our stay was perfect.

The room was very spacious with a comfortable bed, the location is a 10 out of 10, right in the centre, but still in a quiet place, really close to the only place where you can swim in Varenna, a nice small beach.
However, what I liked the most was the manager Diana, one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Thanks a million once again, Diana!
There’s nothing I didn’t like, honestly.

Casa Contrada Bella has been beautifully renovated, providing every modern comfort while retaining its historic character. It is very well located, being close to the main piazza of Varenna, but still quiet at night. The owner, Diana, is exceptional: incredibly kind, friendly, thoughtful and hospitable. She went to great lengths to make alternative arrangements for my departure from Varenna when the train line was suddenly closed due to a landslide, for which I am immensely grateful. I highly recommend this property and its outstanding host.
I loved everything about the property.

The property is conveniently located next to the village square with a bakery, deli, bar, and restaurant all within spitting distance. The place is airy and bright with 2 window doors that open up to a ‘Romeo & Juiliet’ balcony. The ceiling in the room is very high, making the place feel a lot bigger. Our host Diana was exceptional, meeting us with a huge smile and helping us with restaurant bookings during our stay. She cleaned the room every day, restocked the fridge with juice and water, and was always ready to help. She really cares about her clients well-being and holiday experience.
There was nothing to not like about the property.

The accomodation was exceptionally clean and comfortable and the room was serviced everyday. The position is right in the heart of Varenna. Our host was so friendly and so helpful. We were arrived very late and she was there to settle us in. She booked restaurants and taxis for us and recommended places of interest in the area.
There is nothing we did not like.

Casa Contrada Bella was just amazing and Diana is such a wonderful host. We stayed in the ‘blue’ room and it exceeded all our expectations. The room and bathroom were super clean and so nicely decorated and you could see that a lot of thought and care have been put into the room and building in general. Also, we received a lot of great recommendations for sights and restaurants. We would love to come back and definitely recommend it to all who want to experience Varenna, the diamond of the Como lake!

This beautiful property is located literally a few steps from Varenna's historical town square and is so convenient to go anywhere. Varenna's two landmark villas and famous lakeside promenade are only a couple of minutes walk from this property and the ferry terminal is just 10 minutes walk along the gorgeous promenade. We stayed in the Blue Room and absolutely loved it. Everything (bed, furniture, TV, shower, toilet, etc.) Is brand-new and the room is so beautifully decorated, airy, and very chic. The room is also so squeaky clean, which is important during the pandemic, and we loved the high ceiling, which made the room feel even larger. Special thanks goes to Diana, who owns this property. She is so kind. She took care of us well and made our stay in Varenna extra special. If we can return to Varenna again, we will go back to Diana's property in a heartbeat. Grazie mille, Diana!!!
No dislikes at all. Everything was perfect.

Where do I begin? Everything from the booking, to the reception to the room and service was impeccable. Diana is a fantastic hostess who cares for the guests and really makes sure everything is kept clean, tidy and fresh. The room was newly renovated, with a bathroom worthy of a five star hotel. All in all it was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend casa contrada bella for anyone visiting varenna!

Host was fantastic. Went out of her way to give us info on the area. Loved the uniqueness of the rooms and the location was fantastic.
It would have been nice if even a simple amount of pastries and Caffes were provided in the morning. We knew when we booked that it wasn't provided, but it would be a nice added touch.

Great location! It was within walking distance of everything and right off the main square. The apartment itself was well set up and very clean. Upon arrival we were given lots of information about the surrounding area and Varenna itself and provided with many brochures and maps. We had a lovely time and would highly recommend the place.
